2017年の鳥納めは、やんばるでリュウキュウオオコノハズク
Dec. 31, 2017
This Ryukyu Scops Owl was perched in a pine tree jutting out over the river, apparently waiting for frogs coming to the still water below. Even when it disappeared for a while, it always came back — clearly a favourite hunting spot. That said, this individual is not very accustomed to people, so I only pressed the shutter once. It would be a shame for the owl to abandon such a valuable feeding site, and I'd lose one of my pleasures too. ^^;
There's a large Huntsman Spider on the branch it's perched on — I wonder if the owl has noticed?
